Self love: The weirdest ways in which people have masturbated

May happens to be National Masturbation Month.

There’s still a few days left to celebrate National Masturbation Month. While most people like to go down in an orderly fashion, there’s some weird ways in which people masturbate and we’ve got the low down.

But first: Where did the declaration of May being National Masturbation Month come from? National Masturbation Month came after sex-retailer, Good Vibrations declared the day in 1995 in honor of Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who was fired by President Bill Clinton after she suggested masturbation be part of the sex curriculum for students. Over the years the movement blossomed into a worldwide event.

Although, sometimes still a very taboo subject, it surely has come a long way since then. Surveys actually suggest that over 80% of women and 99% of men masturbate or have masturbated at some time in their lives.

So needless to say it is a form of pleasure enjoyed by basically everyone. Some have some weird ideas though. Check it out:

1. How about Japanese karaoke? A show called Sing What Happens is a game show where Japanese dudes sing while they get a hand job. The goal is to finish the song before they get an orgasm and not get distracted. Apparently the winner wins a lot of shit.

2. Some go way out and do it in public: If you want to try, just be cautious because Kendra Sunderland or more commonly referred to as “Library Girl“, was kicked out of college after a video of her surfaced masturbating in the library. Yikes.

3. There’s some weird sex suits out there. As you can see Japan clearly has this subject covered.

4. Some use robotics. Like Howard from The Big Bang Theory:

5. Here’s a more realistic one for the ladies: There’s a luxury vibrator out there called HUM and promises to be the best vibrator yet. Created by physicists, HUM feels your touch and motion while the computer inside tells HUM how to respond. Because it feels you, HUM responds intuitively, and is as easy to use as any other vibrator … just turn it on, and it’s ready. Hum is also said to be “silky-soft”.
